Scaniverse Universal Scanner Drivers: Solution for Every Distro - Akarshan Kapoor | UbuCon Asia 2025

UbuCon Asia 2025, Kathmandu, Nepal. Project Description The ScaniVerse project is a pioneering initiative designed to streamline the installation and management of scanner drivers across different Linux distributions. By utilizing Snaps, the project enables the creation of distribution-independent packages, allowing scanner drivers to be easily installed on any system that supports snapd. Additionally, scanner applications can be containerized using OCI containers, facilitating their deployment on immutable operating systems. Key components of the project include the integration of scanner support into the PAPPL library, originally developed for printer applications. This integration supports multi-function devices and provides a unified driver format for both printers and scanners. The project also focuses on retrofitting legacy scanners to ensure continued support for older hardware. https://events.canonical.com/event/12...
